A World Bank randomized trial studied a six-week, teacher-supported after-school English program in Edo State, Nigeria, where first-year senior secondary students used Microsoft Copilot powered by GPT-4.
A preregistered randomized trial in a Turkish high school compared a standard GPT-4 chat interface, a teacher-informed GPT tutor with guardrails, and no generative-AI resource during mathematics study sessions.
VIPTour used the FocusFormer model and portable consumer devices to prioritize visual information for blind and low-vision visitors exploring unfamiliar environments, supporting exploration, recollection, and sharing.
Google announced a rollout that let Android TalkBack users ask Gemini follow-up questions about images and about the whole screen, extending beyond one-shot image descriptions.
Google DeepMind reported that an AlphaEvolve-discovered scheduling heuristic had been in production for more than a year and continuously recovered an average 0.7% of Google's worldwide compute resources.
Google DeepMind reported that AlphaEvolve improved a trained graph neural network's ability to find feasible solutions to the AC Optimal Power Flow problem from 14% to more than 88%.
Google DeepMind and Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced a partnership in which CFS uses the open-source TORAX plasma simulator in daily workflows to test and refine SPARC operating plans before the tokamak is turned on.
AlphaGenome is a unified DNA-sequence model that takes up to 1 Mb of DNA and predicts thousands of functional genomic tracks, including gene expression, splicing, chromatin features, transcription-factor binding, and contact maps.
Researchers developed Deep Loop Shaping, a reinforcement-learning feedback controller tested on the LIGO Livingston Observatory to reduce control noise in a difficult mirror-control loop.
NVIDIA announced the Llama Nemotron Nano and Super reasoning models, alongside plans to make the post-training tools, datasets and optimization techniques openly available.
OpenAI released gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b as Apache-2.0 open-weight reasoning models, with downloadable weights and reference implementations for local deployment.
GXO reported the successful completion of a pilot at its Oosterhout warehouse in the Netherlands, where a Dexory robot autonomously scanned inventory and produced real-time digital inventory models.
Amazon describes Vulcan, a fulfillment-center robot that combines vision with force-feedback sensors to pick and stow items in crowded inventory bins and hand difficult cases to a person.
Aeneas is a multimodal model that helps historians contextualize damaged Latin inscriptions by retrieving parallels, proposing restorations, and estimating geographic and chronological attribution.
The National Archives announced that its new The American Story museum exhibition would use AI-driven portals to tailor historical-record exploration to visitors' stated interests, with a route to revisit content online.
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Super, an open 120-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts reasoning model with 12 billion active parameters, plus stated releases of its methodology, data, reinforcement-learning environments, and evaluation recipes.
Weather forecasting has spent fifty years as one of the largest users of supercomputing. AI models trained on the archive now produce comparable global forecasts in minutes, and the weights are published. The measurements they depend on are the part that has not become cheap.
